It is in a theme park so you need to have reasonable expectations. With that being said, there is a huge banner out front of the resto that says it is the best theme park restaurant ever. So maybe you can have some expectations.
When I am in IOA I usually do not want to be sidetracked by cheap sex potions or other miscellaneous items, I just want to go stand in line at Velocicoaster and ride it as many times as I can before I go back to the Disney bubble.
In a still-summer-in-Florida month for the beginning of HHN I got to IOA early to see if they still had a passholder magnet in the UOAP lounge and unsurprisingly they did not, there are hardly any perks for out of state UOAP except you easily get your money's worth on "free admission" for the year after you visit a very small number of days (parkhopper) to "break even" and beyond before the year is up. When I change planes in MCO you better believe I am budgeting time for at least one ride on Velocicoaster as long as I am UOAP. Meanwhile at WDW they have hundreds more passholder magnets available than they have passholders, so if you stroll up at the complete end of the month you still get the passholder magnet. But I digress, we're talking about food and not magnets, unless you are Magnets Georg, who devours over 10,000 magnets annually while the average human incidentally only eats one magnet in his entire lifetime.
Since I was in IOA all morning and early afternoon before I could get the HHN wristband at Lombard's at 3 in the other park, I went three rounds on Velocicoaster before I was thoroughly dehydrated in the heat and riding a fourth seemed unwise until I had some water and eaten something to dispel the vapours. I had walked by Mythos dozens of times and thought the banner out front was funny since theme park food is not known to be top tier dining, but maybe this was not a meme after all. I looked on the Universal app and there were no rezzies available. I still walked over from Velocicoaster and batted my eyes at the bouncer out front to get on the gentlesir's walk up list - under 30 minutes, sweet. It was almost 100 degrees out, so I made use of the air conditioning being blasted in the lobby of Mythos. I looked like I went swimming when I walked in but my lulu clothing dried out while I waited for the table.
I was called 10 minutes earlier than I was supposed to, so I like that Universal in this one instance overestimates the wait so you feel like it is a gift of time back to you from Queen Mythos herself. Meanwhile I often have to wait 30 minutes more than posted at Velocicoaster, and one regrettable time I waited 4 hours for Hagrid's when it was posted at 130 minutes, so they really did math bad that day which bothered me since had it been posted at 4 hours I would have been insane to agree to wait, but instead they tricked me into waiting 4 hours for a ride that is truly not worth it, that could have been almost 3 attempts on Guardians to get I Ran again rather than just Conga over and over and over and over again.
Having batted my eyes properly at the bouncer, I got a table by the window so I dined looking out at the Hulk, quite a view. The server was nice and polite and made quick work.
I had the mezze platter ($15 without UOAP discount) which came with house-made hummus, baba ghanoush, marinated fennel, Kalamata olives, served with charred pita. Errything on this platter was delicious and gave me the strength to power through getting the wristband at Lombard's and waiting in line for hours for HHN to start. I was skeptical of good theme park food before I had this mezze platter dropped in front of me. At the other park next door the banana icee machine is always broken in front of MIB these days, but I consider banana icee to be fine theme park dining, before the mezze platter changed me.
Delicious food, surprisingly affordable for a quick service lunch (importantly, with no dress code since I was in clothes that could get wet for HHN) to only be $15 before UOAP discount in a theme park that actually included vegetables and vegetable adjacent items, excellent view out the window to the Hulk, nice server, no complaints. I actually have zero complaints about the whole experience from start to finish. I don't often eat in theme parks (unless Icees count as "eating") except for Epcot Food & Wine, and this mezze platter rivals quite a lot you can get even there this year.
Rumours are this joint is closing with the Lost Continent demo, so visit sooner than later for this mezze platter before this joins Rip Ride Rockit in only distant memories.
